Abstract:
A system and related method coordinate data and transactions between an enterprise transaction system (ETS) of an enterprise and a blockchain network (BN). A coexistence mediator intercepts an ETS transaction comprising ETS transaction information (ETS-TI) associated with an enterprise. The ETS-TI includes transaction context information (ETS-TCI) regarding the ETS transaction. The system determines an ETS transaction context from the ETS-TCI. Responsive to determining the ETS transaction context represents an in-flight ETS transaction, rerouting, the coexistence mediator reroutes the transaction from the ETS to the BN. The rerouting comprises converting the ETS-TI to BN transaction information (BN-TI), and interfacing with the BN to record a processed BN transaction as a transaction record. The coexistence mediator, upon recording the BN transaction, provides a new BN-TI associated with the BN transaction. The new BN-TI comprises a BN transaction id. The system further switches the ETS transaction context to a BN transaction context.
